Background. Elderly patients with chronic diseases (CDs) have a higher predilection for falls, more severe consequences once they fall. Therefore, it is necessary to explore an effective way prevent falls in elderly CDs. Objective. To clarify the clinical effects of outpatient health education on fall prevention and self-health management Methods. This retrospective study enrolled 102 CDs who received treatment School Medicine, Sir Run Shaw Hospital Zhejiang University, between January 2019 December 2020. Patients intervened by routine nursing were assigned regular group (n = 48), those additionally treated included research 54). Assessment patients’ negative emotions (NEs) adopted Self-Rating Anxiety/Depression Scale (SAS/SDS), determination their sense self-efficacy employed Falls Efficacy International (FES-I), self-care capacity evaluation used Exercise Self-Care Agency (ESCA). Patients’ hospitalization time, knowledge, prevention-related behavior, satisfaction recorded. Results. After intervention, lower SAS, SDS, FES-I scores determined versus group; total ESCA score assessed from various dimensions was also exhibited markedly incidence shorter time than group, better mastery behavior satisfaction. Conclusions. Outpatient intervention can senile falling, promote rehabilitation, enhance knowledge; moreover, improve healthy behaviors mitigate NEs, ability, which has high application value.

Snapshot of Fall Prevention in Patients Referred to a Neurorehabilitation Unit: A Feasibility Study on the Use of an Airbag Device

Sensors, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 24(19), P. 6272 - 6272

Published: Sept. 27, 2024

Active wearable devices such as protective smart belts have been proposed to reduce hip impact in the event of a fall. This study primarily evaluated feasibility and acceptance specific belt among selected patients identified being at risk falling who were admitted an ICS Maugeri Neurorehabilitation Unit from September 2022 April 2023. According previous institutional observations, device was worn between 6th 21st days recovery. Out 435 patients, 118 considered eligible, but 101 declined participate (about 50% refused wear without first trying it on; other found too heavy or difficult manage). Among 17 accepted (users), 9 used correctly. The remaining eight after 24 h, due discomfort. admitted, we observed least one fall 49 whom 5 eligible patients; 1 user had quickly use fell with mild damage. Two non-eligible non-user patient experienced falls resulting fractures; only latter case could limited damage hip. Difficulties recruiting low intervention present further challenges.

Introduction In 2021, among all age groups, falls ranked as the third leading cause of unintentional injury death in USA. Unlike fatal data, which rely on certificates gold standard, there is not a standard for non-fatal data. Non-fatal data are often based insurance claims or administrative billing The purpose our study to compare three databases estimate rates fall-related hospitalisations 2019, most recent year available across sources. Methods Three were used produce incidence 2019: (1) Merative MarketScan research databases, (2) Centers Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) (3) Healthcare Cost Utilization Project (HCUP) National Inpatient Sample. identified using International Classification Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification codes. Incidence per 100 000 people then produced datasets by payer type. Unadjusted rate ratios estimated with corresponding 95% CIs. Results There wide disparities fall between HCUP had highest (1087.6 000) commercial enrollees (74.7 000), while CMS (148.0 000). Conclusions This shows variation hospitalisation rates. suggests that database selection an important consideration when determining falls.
